- Large banks are worthy of the title of crocodile. They are well-informed and there seems to be no field they are unfamiliar with. The internal research and intelligence centers of the four banking groups have researchers who are familiar with various industries and are stronger than most fund companies. It's just that United Technologies' research field is relatively cutting-edge, and their judgment is biased.
Robinson took people to Canberra to register Wilson Bank, and four banks knew about it the next day. They immediately changed their tune, said they would increase the loan amount, and lowered the monthly interest rate by half a cent.
"Are you kidding? There is no interest on the loan. I didn't agree. The bank procedures have been approved and everything is going well." Robinson called Li Zhuang to tell the story and report the good news.
"Haha, we still need friends. Let's establish business cooperation with them and give them some face, so as not to make people embarrassed. They may have realized that we have been fooled."
"These have been taken care of. You can do your work. I'm hanging up." After Robinson finished speaking, there was a beep from the other side.
"I, the boss, have no formality, and my subordinates have no manners." Li Zhuang shook his head and complained to Da Mian, who laughed loudly, while Zhang Kai, who came over to join in the fun, smiled bitterly.
Getting along inside United Technologies is very easy. On the one hand, it has to do with the company¡¯s equity structure. The core employees here are shareholders, not pure employees. Even though Wesson Technology's relocation was hit hard, the number of senior core employees leaving the company was almost zero. The company has considered them very well and properly handled their close relatives and friends. They are smart people, all over thirty years old, relatively mature mentally, have no worries, and the probability of brain damage can be ignored.
On the other hand, it has something to do with the personality and habits of the management.
Needless to say, Li Zhuang has never wanted to be aloof. He knows that high places are too cold, and he knows very well that "if you want to put yourself on the altar, you must be prepared to have no friends." Such stupid things as "creating gods" can only be done by those who are extremely controlling and abnormal, so they have to frequently set up memorial arches and live a very tiring life. The more parameters that need to be controlled, the easier it is for the system to become distorted. Washington, the founding leader of Citigroup, was a real wise man, although not very clean.
When United Technologies rose to prominence, Da Mian was almost 50 years old. If you asked him to pretend to be serious, he would definitely not be able to do it. Besides, wisdom and deepness are two different concepts.
As the president, Zhou Qisen doesn¡¯t like strict rules, but he got into this position based on his ability. He is recognized by both management and senior core employees. Whether in the circle of researchers or non-researchers, everyone is open-minded and fair.
The three bosses don¡¯t care about rules. Within United Technologies, which mainly refers to academic qualifications, there can¡¯t be any strict hierarchy. One code belongs to the other.
Zhang Kai was the management representative who advocated the so-called formalization, but no one cared. The "wet market" was running smoothly, and the management members who had the same idea as him stopped insisting. He is a very interesting person. When he is free, he often goes to the research institute to get hit and come back disgraced. After a while, he repeats the same routine again. He especially likes to participate in the launch of new products.
June 1st is the so-called International Children¡¯s Day, and wai chose this day to release the new 200,000 artificial neuron intelligence brain wai201. The related software, smart home manager and manufacturing expert system have all been upgraded simultaneously and are priced at US$100 million.
Released simultaneously with wai201 are 1,000-neuron integrated smart toys and wai102. The former will be distributed as gifts to families with children within the company, and the first batch of 10,000 units will be manufactured.
The media who were sure to join in the fun and the wealthy people who liked this area came to participate after receiving the notice. After seeing the demonstration, they placed an order for 300 sets on the spot. Considering that electronic products are being upgraded too quickly, wai decided to upgrade the products for old customers and give old customers a 20% discount on the new wai201.
"Mr. Li, how did you come up with the idea of ??designing smart toys? Wai's robot cats and robot dogs are very flexible and not as rigid as similar products from other companies." A reporter asked.
Li Zhuang touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed. In fact, the smart toy was not designed by him at all. The styling, in-house design and manufacturing completed by Lisa were done by Vicky, a little chubby girl. Her current hobby is making toys of various types. The tourism group is building a large-scale playground covering an area of ??50 square kilometers next to Highway 1. It is estimated that these toys piled in the warehouse will come in handy in the future.
"The era of intelligent life is not far away. Children are an important part of society. We cannot favor one thing over another, so we decided to join the ranks of smart toy suppliers"
Li Zhuang made a grand statement, and Zhang Kai who was standing next to him couldn't help but despise him. Lisa stood by and was speechless, not knowing that the person involved had started to sweat.
Today¡¯s press conference was very successful. According to United Technologies¡¯ rules, there will be nearly a hundred people in a few days.The advance payment in U.S. dollars came over.
"Zhang Kai, do you think it is necessary to arrange a spokesperson? I am not suitable for holding press conferences." After the meeting, Li Zhuang grabbed Zhang Kai who wanted to leave.
"Li Zhuang, you have set this rule yourself. Members of the new product research and development project team must nominate representatives to attend the press conference and give technical explanations. What, you want to play with the privilege?"
"Uh, forget it, I surrender, it's business as usual." Li Zhuang thought about it and decided not to set this precedent. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.
"Vicky really hurt me today. How could a person like me know about toys? Look at how sweaty I am." Li Zhuang complained to Lisa when he got home.
"I think you pretend to be pretty good, you should have experience in impersonation." Lisa was a little skeptical.
"I'm an honest man. Don't think that because you are my wife, I can't sue you for defamation." Li Zhuang felt that his character had been insulted and was about to take action when his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it belonged to Thomas.
"Hey, Tom, what's up?"
"Daniel, I watched your press conference. Get on the plane in the evening, we charter a special plane to come over, and I helped you find more than 20 experts." Thomas spoke very fast, and Li Zhuang listened with his ears pricked up.
"Where are you?"
"Los Angeles, we set off at 11:30 and flew directly to D.W. Airport. I died."
Li Zhuang looked up at the clock on the wall. It was half past twelve in Perth and it was nine thirty in Los Angeles. The straight-line distance from Los Angeles International Airport to Sunway Airport is more than 11,000 kilometers. It is estimated that they use intercontinental business jets. However, we will only know when we come here. What kind of planes will Thomas take that ordinary people would not think of?
Before the training the next morning, Li Zhuang met Joseph Smith, son of Jonathan Smith. The young man didn't look like his father, but he could see his shadow. He was tall and strong, a little gentle, and he was very nervous sitting on the sofa. Li Zhuang's reputation is so great that he is under great pressure.
"Don't be nervous, just do the questions first." Li Zhuang's attitude was very kind, but the test catalog he took out shocked little Smith, "I don't think I can finish this exam in one day!"
"It doesn't matter, take your time. There is an exam room on the ninth floor. You go over there and think about it slowly. Don't be anxious. Answer these questions within two days and I will evaluate again."
This is the temporary residence of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, and other research institutes have moved to their respective sites. Li Zhuang plans to move to a formal office early next month because robots are about to be produced nearby and the noise from large equipment is very harsh.
"Little Smith is doing the questions with a frown on his face, and Li Zhuang is giving lessons to the employees of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute on the sixth floor. Now the remaining group of people have been carefully screened and are highly reliable. Even so, Lizhuang still focuses on heuristic education and does not involve pure technology.
"How many people can Thomas bring here?" Li Zhuang thought about it while eating. Although this guy often suffers from convulsions, he is quite down-to-earth and has many friends. He got his undergraduate degree from MIT, his master's degree and doctorate from MIT. Now he is almost forty and not married. He bought a house next to MIT to live in, which is considered Soho.
When I went to work in the afternoon, I met Zhou Qisen as soon as I arrived at the office and told him some issues about the allocation of energy areas, factory areas and research areas. This matter was very cumbersome, and Li Zhuang forgot about Thomas until he called to complain.
"You are not a kind master. Why is there no one to greet me when I arrive at the airport? No one will tell me, but I am still a talented person. Come here quickly!"
Thomas¡¯s voice was so loud that Zhou Qisen could hear it clearly and couldn¡¯t help but smile: ¡°I¡¯ll go with you, just in time to meet the famous ¡®Tom Cat¡¯.¡±
"Okay, I'll be there in twenty minutes, you wait." Li Zhuang glanced at Zhou Qisen and replied to Thomas.
The two of them hurried downstairs and drove to Sunway Airport. Fortunately, the road was open and the car was traveling very fast. They finally arrived before Thomas became impatient with waiting.
"Ah, 747? More than twenty people?" Li Zhuang looked at the behemoth at the airport, and then looked at the more than two hundred people behind Thomas, and was dumbfounded for a moment.
"Your airport is so big. I think it's several times bigger than Los Angeles International Airport. This place is so desolate." Thomas didn't reply to Li Zhuang, but instead asked about the airport.
Sunway Airport is an international airport with code names in IATA and ICAO. Currently, it mainly uses transport aircraft. The high value-added goods purchased by United Technologies are transported by aircraft and has business contacts with more than a dozen countries around the world. There are many tourists because of the Broome and National Park areas in the north, but compared with the bustling Los Angeles International Airport, it is seriously underpopulated.
"Hey, we'll discuss the airport issue later. Didn't you say there are more than 20 people? Why are there so many people?""There are only more than twenty people who are useful, and the others are either close relatives or friends. I can't leave the tail to Washington. That would be unsafe." Thomas replied.
"Where's the 747? Did you rent it?"
"Hurry up and pay the rental fee for me. My doctorate certificate is still in the hands of the captain."
Li Zhuang and Zhou Qisen looked at each other, dumbfounded. This guy is indeed not doing things normally, but he is so awesome that he was able to lure such a big plane to Sunway Airport without paying the rent.
Zhou Qisen called Bray Sterling, the president of the logistics group, and asked the airport financial officer to come over to handle it. Thomas took Li Zhuang to introduce him to the person.
"This is my brother Jerry, this is my sister Jessica, this is my friend Drub, this is his son Druba," Thomas speaks conveniently when doing business and looks normal.
"Your father likes to watch cartoons?" Li Zhuang asked.
"Yes, our names are based on cartoons. I think it's pretty good. Is there any problem?"
"Very good, by the way, you need a detailed resume from me before I can ask the company's human resources department to conduct testing. Otherwise, it will be difficult to arrange your job position."
"Okay, this is the procedure, you must go, I won't make it difficult for you." Thomas suddenly became another person.
"These people are reliable. You may know that I had a big purge here last time and eliminated a large number of spies." Li Zhuang hesitated.
"I am a former agent after all. I have picked all the ones who have come here. They are very safe." Thomas disagreed.
¡°Okay, it¡¯s good that you have confidence, otherwise I will be in a very difficult position.¡±
The General Affairs Department will first arrange food and accommodation for the guests so that they can get over the jet lag, and then hold a welcome banquet in the evening. Li Zhuang sent Thomas to the hotel, took a pile of resumes he gave him, and returned to the administrative building covering an area of ??100 acres.
Ouyang Tan flipped through nearly three hundred resumes and couldn't believe what Li Zhuang said, "Thomas said there are only about twenty people available?"
"Yes, that's what he said. I browsed it casually on the way, and I always felt that this guy's vision was too high. Basically, adults among these people can come in handy."
Thomas is engaged in automation, his brother Jerry has a Ph.D. in aerodynamics from cit., his sister Dr. Jessica graduated from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the big dog Drew has a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, and the puppy Drew Baben graduated from Stanford. In addition to the children who are still in primary and secondary schools, the worst one graduated from the University of Miami and studied management information systems.
¡°They all graduated from the top 50 schools in Citi. Thomas¡¯s vision is not ordinary, but ridiculously high. Not everyone can walk around in schools like MIT and MIT at will like him. "
When Li Zhuang heard this and thought about the pervert Yamamoto, he always felt that God was indeed unfair and that some people were too smart. A confused guy like Thomas can still live a leisurely and comfortable life all day long without any need for family background.
They are all talents, so of course they must be treated with caution. Li Zhuang called Director Qi specifically and asked him to prepare delicious food and let the chefs contribute their best skills.
Thomas surprised Li Zhuang, but in the evening, all the guests from Citigroup were overwhelmed by the sumptuous dishes in the hotel. Needless to say, there are famous dishes from China, as well as famous dishes from various countries, including Australia.
Most of the guests who drank so much ended up drinking high-end Australian red wine. Thomas, drunkenly, pulled Li Zhuang's sleeve and muttered: "If you have so many delicious food in the future, I will show off my unique skills. "
Li Zhuang's eyes darkened, because Qi Dong had just quoted him the bill, which was still the cost price, three million US dollars. "You are the uncle. If you want to eat like this, I will be destitute by you."
Seeing the angry owner walking away, Thomas was stunned for a moment, turned around, picked up a big lobster, gnawed on it, and said: "Stingy little bitch!"
The waiters on the side were speechless.
Li Zhuang walked outside and made an exaggerated pose, laughing loudly, "It's true to go out and rely on friends!"
